LORD Nelson would certainly be right if he now uttered those immortal words I see no ships.' I have just read that the MOD are to cut back the Royal Navy.
Can you believe it? There are only 36,000 naval personnel as it is.
We are an island and 90 per cent of our imported goods come by sea.
It's looking like the Royal Navy are to be reduced to coastal watching.' Has this government no sense of history, or feeling of loyalty to its fighting men?
We have always been a proud, strong nation and must continue to be so.
Work should stop at once on that two and a half billion refurbishment they are doing on the MOD offices (chairs at a thousand pounds each) and bring our navy up to scratch.
